Prayer finds its source…
Prayer finds its source in God’s holiness and it is at the same time our response to this holiness.
–Saint John Paul (1920-2005)
Created for prayer…
It seems as if we were created for prayer. Prayer is the only bond that links us to God. It stands before our hearts as the eternal life, which is our hope. Prayer is the condition in which we discover our own divine image, on which the stamp of the Holy Trinity is impressed. When we lose prayer, we actually lose the glory of our image, and we no longer resemble God in any way. God draws us to himself through prayer, and through prayer we mysteriously travel toward him in a manner too deep to understand. In fact, through prayer we draw God to ourselves, and he comes to us and makes his home with us.
–Matthew the Poor aka Matta El-Meskeen (1919-2006)
God’s help…
None of our own attempts and efforts can save us without the help of God, but neither can God’s help be beneficial to us without our own wish for it.
–Saint John Maximovich (1896-1966)
God does everything…
God does everything possible to be near, small, close by and accessible. –Emil Merch (1890-1940)
The mystery of grace…
That is the mystery of grace: it never comes too late.
–François Mauriac (1885-1970)
Humility is…
Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less.
–CS Lewis (1863-1929)
